Controlling And Dividing Liriope (Monkey Grass)
GENIUS! I wish I knew about this before I planted my ornamental grass which is now spilling over to my driveway & lawn. I cannot divide it. Its too difficult. Great idea.
Easy No-Peel Applesauce
I dont peel my apples. I wash the skins of 10 lbs of MacIntosh apples well, each cut into 4 pieces & simmer. When very soft I use a food mill. This part takes the longest. The skins remain in the mill & the applesauce comes out the bottom. No need to add any...
Easy No-Peel Applesauce
I forgot to mention, I add a generous amount of cinnamon after apples are put through the mill.
Musty Basement Odor?
I believe the musty odor is mildew & mold most likely from poor ventilation. Gassed build up causing the odor so unless you get rid of the source the problem will persist. A lot of things may mask the odor but not really eradicate it. Maybe placing a fan to...
Keeping Your Cat from Using Garden as Litter...
Pardon me if this sounds too harsh to all cat owners but in my neighborhood (suburbs) too many cat owners let their cats out to spray all over other peoples belongings or shrubs leaving an awful ammonia odor. I also watch them torture the adorable, defenseless...
Storage Box Keeps Produce Fresher Longer
While your produce may still look good after a month, it is best to use it up much before this as the nutritional value decreases rapidly, something you dont have to worry about with frozen vegetables.
Snack Plastic Bag as Sandwich Pocket
Great idea. I will try it next time I am eating a messy sandwich or burger. It will also keep your hands clean or if you cant wash up before eating, its a good shield.
Cupcake Liner as a Drinks Cover
Very cleaver. Its always a concern when drinking outside. I will be trying this one. Hopefully it doesnt blow away with a strong wind.
Starter Cord Wouldn't Come Out?
Are you holding down the safety bar while pulling the cord? Your manual should mention your problem under trouble shooting.
Salt Spout Mason Jar
Great idea! Im definitely going to do this as soon as my salt container is empty. Im going to tape a note on the container to remind me. It may be a while before its empty. We dont use a lot of salt.
Morning Chipmunk
I also have the cutest chipmunk eating the bird seed I put out. I dont know if its the same 1 all the time because they all look alike. I named mine Chippy. He gathers as much seed that he can fit in his cheeks & then disappears somewhere under my deck, presumably...
Hoarding: Too Much Stuff
I went through the exact same thing with my parents, also from the depression era. I never had to go through the concern of where my next meal was coming from but the way they lived had a big impact on me. I always sell on Craigslist or donate to Goodwill if...
Make a Garden "Bed" Out of an Old Bed...
I love your idea, very cleaver. It looks great, good job. Id like to make this with a crib frame for my deck as I have a problem with deer & racoons. Id cover it on 5 sides with deer netting to keep the racoons out at night. Thanks for the idea.
